Oooooh yes please send me a pumpkin pie recipe if you have one - that would be great!!!
It sounds delicious!!!
I've also never tried cornbread or cranberry sauce.
What other food do you have at thanksgiving?
We have turkey here so I know what that's like.
Oklahoma Howdy to KiwiChristian,
You are making me hungry just asking these questions. I may not be able to wait until Thanksgiving now. NO CORNBREAD! I thought folks would starve doing without cornbread. Cornbread goes great with everything, even plain with just some melted butter or some honey on the top.
Some may have some other ideas on what the basics are for a Thanksgiving dinner.
Butterball Turkey with giblets left in to make that wonderful giblet gravy that is an absolute must.
Baked ham for variety.
Either a home made stuffing mix or Peperidge Farm stuffing mix with herbs and spices to stuff the bird while it is slow cooking. For larger groups, you will probably have to make more than what will stuff in the bird.
Mashed potatoes that are still just a little bit lumpy with melted cheddar cheese over the top.
Sweet potatoes - I like mine with a touch of cinnamon, clove, and sugar - sliced.
Both kinds of cranberry sauce - gelled and still in berry.
Fresh green salad with the works and dressing.
Fresh fruit salad with everything but the kitchen sink in it - including coconut.
Pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
Hot pecan pie with ice cream.
Cornbread and sourdough biscuits.
Green beans and usually several different types of vegetable casseroles (i.e. broccoli and cheese with cracker crumb crust).
Ice tea, soda pop, and ice cold buttermilk for those who really want to live it up.
By the way, great giblet gravy is a must to put over the stuffing, potatoes, and turkey.
If you survive, you have left overs for supper.
In Christ,
Tom
